What makes PORTCO unique from other similar organizations is that we are focused on providing employment opportunities to the full spectrum of the disabled population. This gives us an edge of being a multi-faceted organization to meet the needs of individuals who would not otherwise be gainfully employed.

We also have internal measureable goals for each of our employees. As a result, we are not only providing our employees with employment, but also an environment to better themselves and learn new skills. We would like to see a growth of skill sets prior to our employees being provided employment through PORTCO.

We are focused on crossing organizational and governmental boundaries to forge new relationships with the goal of creating more job opportunities to persons with disabilities. We look to establish relationships with vocational organizations to the Wounded Warriors and Veteran Services.

Our national scope also allows us to carry on this plan to other areas of the country. Our Board of Directors is passionate in helping and providing employment opportunities to people with disability. This passion is evident in the support PORTCO receives in developing and pursuing opportunities throughout the country.
